Once Bill Berry left REM, their fall was pretty rapid.

Guns and Roses.  It's just embarrassing now.

[Adam]

Captain Skeech and the Shrimp Shack Shooters

[Lhalo]

It's hard to get worse when you start from rock bottom but with this list it's possible.

Indeed they are... they have a new album coming out soon and I'm looking forward to it. I'm not a fan of their work before the art of drowning. But I get that punk rock enthusiasts would disagree.

Yeah, it was weird because AFI is the band that kind of grew with my changes and tastes. Back in the mid 90's all I was into was punk from Bad Religion to Screaching Weasel and mainly everything on Nitro led by AFI. As I started to mature so did my musical tastes and apparently so did the bands as they progressively worked their way from a "punk" sound.

I haven't listened to them much since December Underground with the occassional listen to their older stuff like Black Sails and Shut Your Mouth.

It's actually one of the few bands where I enjoy their entire catalog.

The word "evolved" is overused in the music industry when a band changes their style but I really think it applies here. No question that it's too mainstream for some but they're good at what they do.

Richie Valens and Buddy Holly

[NJHalo]

The Beatles have fallen off by 50% easily

[Lhalo]

Richie Valens and Buddy Holly

Big Bopper too.

[Ray McKigney]

Richie Valens and Buddy Holly

 

 

Big Bopper too.

 

Stevie Ray Vaughn's music has really taken a nosedive over the couple of decades too.

 

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

Maroon 5

 

They were a bland but inoffensive wuss rock band but now they sound like One Direction.

Looks like you and I have exact opposite opinions on them. I saw Art of Drowning as the time when I stopped listening to them because of the direction they were going. To each his own though.

[Brandon]

I really dislike what I'm hearing from the Spin Doctors these days.

(On a side note, I dropped a Spin Doctors joke and some dude laughed and said, "Dude, no joke, I just saw them recently at some wine tasting festival in Temecula." Amazing.)

I hear ya, I just couldn't get past his tone on the earlier albums. To be honest, I didn't think Davey was all that talented vocally until I heard him unleash his range. He didn't do much of that on the early stuff.
